Do you mind turning your WCG CPU usage down to 11/12 (91.67%) briefly and seeing if your F@H client isn't being starved? I know the AMD F@H core takes like 1-2% of an 8 thread chip, but your PPD can go south if your F@H core is CPU starved.

EDIT: Could also be because my 7970 is overclocked to 1150/1650 and your GPU could still be at stock unless you have overclocked it.

I'll give that a shot tonight and see if it helps. I don't really want to lose a thread but I suppose it could be worthwhile...

My HD7930 is at stock speeds--it already artifacts like this so I'm not going to push it...

Regular Pitcairn 7870s get around 50-55K, so maybe your card is borked. Do you have the 7950 on hand or is that being used for something else?

Running in the i3 the HD7950 was artifacting like crazy---like as soon as it booted to the point that the computer was unusable. Even with a 550w PSU. I need to try it in my 3770k system but just haven't had the time yet.

And the HD7930 doesn't artifact badly--just little bits here and there. Only seems to happen when folding--not even games.

Well, going to run my 260s to July 1, and I'm putting them down. I need fermi or higher cards after that. Probably won't quite hit my 20mil goal, but I can do that starting in the fall. Again, any offers on folding cards over the next few months will be appreciated. Just doing what I can do....

Just doing what you can with what you have is all that can be asked of you

Just got an e-mail from the volunteer hosting the rig at her business and apparently with the start of summer heat/humidity, the rig has overpowered her AC system so I had her shut it down.

I'll be picking up that rig and dropping off another rig that runs cooler tomorrow and may leave the 7770 that's in it atm to continue folding for the Team.

Anyone have any experience running 580's in warmer weather? I may have access to power/internet at another site but there's no AC there

If they run hot already even with the A/C, good luck.

Speaking of heat, it's 80F inside the office and the bays are 100F. I'm surprised the 2 ton central and 1.25 ton window A/Cs are keeping up that well with an office completely surrounded by 100F air and containing about 3kW worth of equipment inside. The air coming out of the central is only 50F so it's struggling to keep up.

Yes sir- Florida is tough for heat

The 580's both run at 65-70C and they overpowered an old 20k btu window type unit... I knew I had an issue when she mentioned that the 70 yr old man that helps out answering the phone, who's always cold, was in a Tee shirt and sweating

The only way I could run them is to switch them to water and put an external radiator outside, which is not happening

well I just wanted to poke my head back in and say hello. I am back folding but only light to medium duty atm because I am on a laptop doing it. New Samsung with an i7 and GTX650. So hello and I am back folding for now again.
